Far-left activist Leonard Peltier, serving life in murders of 2 FBI agents, leaves prison under Biden clemency
Fox News
Far-left activist Leonard Peltier is leaving prison after 49 years for a pair of FBI agents' murders thanks to a last-minute commutation from Joe Biden.
Peltier is a remorseless killer, who brutally murdered two of our own – Special Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Granting Peltier any relief from his conviction or sentence is wholly unjustified and would be an affront to the rule of law.
In one of his last moves in office, former President Joe Biden granted Peltier clemency over fiery objections from both former FBI Director Christopher Wray and the FBI Agents Association.
"I hope these letters are unnecessary, and that you are not considering a pardon or commutation," Wray wrote to Biden just 10 days before the former president granted clemency. "But on behalf of the FBI family, and out of an abundance of caution, I want to make sure our position is clear: Peltier is a remorseless killer, who brutally murdered two of our own – Special Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Granting Peltier any relief from his conviction or sentence is wholly unjustified and would be an affront to the rule of law."
